【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
willingly(不情愿地)occasionally(偶爾)和doubtfully(懷疑地)與上述意思有俘,只有certainly是合適的選項(xiàng)。 從本句的意思判斷,應(yīng)該是“某種神奇的能力”,所以要選some。 本句的意思是“將……看成”,而英語(yǔ)的用詞是see...as,所以要選as。譯文:動(dòng)物的“第六感”2004年12月由印度洋海域地震引發(fā)的海嘯造成亞洲和東非數(shù)萬(wàn)人死亡。但野生動(dòng)物們似乎躲過(guò)了可怕的海嘯的襲擊。有專家表示,這進(jìn)一步證實(shí)了動(dòng)物對(duì)自然災(zāi)難有“第六感”的觀點(diǎn)。斯里蘭卡負(fù)責(zé)野生動(dòng)物的官員表示,巨浪席卷印度洋海島沿岸,淹死了兩萬(wàn)四千多人,但野生動(dòng)物似乎都幸免于難,目前尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)一具動(dòng)物的尸體。:“沒(méi)有一頭大象死亡,甚至沒(méi)有一只野兔死亡。我認(rèn)為動(dòng)物能夠感知災(zāi)難。它們有‘第六感’,它們知道災(zāi)難何時(shí)發(fā)生。”海洪沖向離岸二英里遠(yuǎn)的亞拉國(guó)家公園,這里是斯里蘭卡最大的野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)區(qū),生活著幾百頭野生大象和一些美洲豹,海嘯引發(fā)的洪水使亞拉國(guó)家公園所在的東南部地區(qū)變得一片狼藉?!懊慨?dāng)火山爆發(fā)或地震發(fā)生前,動(dòng)物們的行為就會(huì)發(fā)生許多異常,比如犬吠或鳥類遷徙,但這些現(xiàn)象尚未得到科學(xué)證明。”南非約翰內(nèi)斯堡動(dòng)物園的動(dòng)物行為專家馬修范利羅普說(shuō)。他對(duì)路透社記者說(shuō):“目前還沒(méi)有這方面的專門研究,因?yàn)槟銦o(wú)法在實(shí)驗(yàn)室或?qū)嶋H環(huán)境中進(jìn)行真正的試驗(yàn)?!逼渌麑<乙餐膺@一看法?!耙吧鷦?dòng)物似乎能夠感知某些特殊現(xiàn)象,尤其是鳥類。很多報(bào)告顯示鳥類能察覺(jué)即將來(lái)臨的災(zāi)難?!笨巳R夫?沃克這樣說(shuō),他曾經(jīng)寫過(guò)數(shù)本關(guān)于非洲野生動(dòng)物的書。一些動(dòng)物確實(shí)是依靠嗅覺(jué)或聽(tīng)覺(jué)等人類已知的官能來(lái)躲避危險(xiǎn)的,比如食肉動(dòng)物。關(guān)于動(dòng)物“第六感”(或者其他神秘力量)的說(shuō)法已有很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,斯里蘭卡被摧殘的海灘可能會(huì)為這一說(shuō)法再添一筆證據(jù)。羅馬人把貓頭鷹視為迫近兇險(xiǎn)的征兆,很多古代文明都將大象看做擁有特殊能力或特征的“圣獸”。第五篇Singing

by,意為“由……經(jīng)營(yíng)的”。其他選項(xiàng)雖然語(yǔ)法正確,但都與句意不符。 從文章標(biāo)題以及文章內(nèi)容和本句后面部分resource center for the blind,可以推斷這里最好的選擇就是C。 因?yàn)檫@種警告裝置已在上文中提到:第一段中的directional sound alarms,第二段中的installing the alarms in a residential home...,所以這里的alarms是特指,要用定冠詞。選項(xiàng)C是錯(cuò)誤的,因?yàn)樗菃螖?shù)形式。 句子的前半句有a wide range of frequencies,發(fā)出來(lái)的應(yīng)該是sound,而不是令人煩躁的noise。用music或bell都有些突然,與上下文的意思不連貫。 文章一直在討論警報(bào)器、聲音和波長(zhǎng),所以首先排除選項(xiàng)A。從上下文的意思看,不可能是選項(xiàng)B和C,因?yàn)榫瘓?bào)器的制造,就是為了讓失明的人聽(tīng)到。 選擇A、B、D均不能構(gòu)成語(yǔ)義連貫的句子,而且語(yǔ)法上也有問(wèn)題。選項(xiàng)C能使句子結(jié)構(gòu)成為“It is...that”的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。 從所給的選項(xiàng)可以看出,這里要表達(dá)的意思是“煙火彌漫的房間”。有了這個(gè)理解,現(xiàn)在要做的就是選擇正確的表達(dá)形式。A是“煙熏的”,D是“使……煙火彌漫的”,所以意思不對(duì),C填入后就出現(xiàn)filled with smoke room,不符合語(yǔ)法。只有B是正確選項(xiàng)。 這里顯然是“It takes somebody+time+動(dòng)詞不定式”的句型,但選擇什么時(shí)態(tài)是關(guān)鍵。從上句看,應(yīng)選擇一般過(guò)去時(shí),因?yàn)檎麄€(gè)段落是對(duì)一次實(shí)驗(yàn)的描寫,而且上面一句也使用了一般過(guò)去時(shí)。 后半句的one指上半句中的a sound alarm。該句上半句和下半句由but連接,表示相反的意思,從后半句的with可以看出,兩個(gè)相對(duì)比的事物是:the door without a sound alarm和the door with a sound alarm,所以選擇C。 選項(xiàng)B、C和D顯然是錯(cuò)誤的,因?yàn)樵~義不符。只有選項(xiàng)A是答案。句子的意思是,Withington在她的大學(xué)里研究大腦如何處理聲音。 句子中的more...than表示該句是對(duì)兩樣事物的對(duì)比。than后面是the source of a narrow band,這里的narrow和前半句的wide形成反比,從上下文中可以看出,the source of a narrow band of(frequencies)是和the source of a wide band of frequencies形成對(duì)比。 這個(gè)句子有主語(yǔ)alarms,有謂語(yǔ)have been installed,這里應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞的分詞形式。be based on是常用的搭配,所以應(yīng)選擇動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞形式。選項(xiàng)A的basis是名詞,明顯是錯(cuò)的。 根據(jù)上半句中的rising or falling frequencies,這里應(yīng)填入or,與上半句表達(dá)的意思相一致。音頻升高表示上樓,音頻降低表示下樓。 alarms,后半句說(shuō)這種設(shè)備得到大筆資助。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容,我們知道資助的目的是開(kāi)發(fā)這種alarms,所以應(yīng)該選擇developed。譯文:警報(bào)器救盲人如果看不見(jiàn),那你可能會(huì)因找不到路而逃不出一幢失火樓房,那將是致命的。英國(guó)利茲市的一家公司發(fā)明的一種可指方向的警報(bào)器可能會(huì)把你引向出口。聲音警報(bào)是一家由利茲大學(xué)設(shè)立的公司。該公司現(xiàn)在正在為位于薩莫塞特的一家盲人收容所和位于卡姆布雷亞的一家盲人資源中心安裝此種裝置。這種警報(bào)器發(fā)出的頻率范圍廣,使人腦可以判斷出聲音的來(lái)源。該公司的戴博拉?威星頓稱此種警報(bào)器使人類可以聽(tīng)到大部分音頻。她說(shuō):“它們是一種突發(fā)的頻譜連續(xù)而均勻的聲音。人們感覺(jué)它們聽(tīng)上去就像是收音機(jī)發(fā)出的靜電噪聲,其在救人方面潛力巨大。”她進(jìn)行了一次試驗(yàn)。她讓人們?cè)谝凰錆M濃煙的大屋子里設(shè)法找到出路,同時(shí)她用熱效應(yīng)成像攝像機(jī)進(jìn)行拍攝。在沒(méi)有警報(bào)器時(shí),這些人用了近4分鐘才找到門,而在警報(bào)器的指引下,只用了15秒。她在大學(xué)里對(duì)人腦如何處理聲音進(jìn)行研究,并提出與波段窄的頻率相比,人們更易發(fā)現(xiàn)波段寬的音響源?;诖死碚摰木瘓?bào)器已被應(yīng)用于急救車上。這種警報(bào)器也容納了音頻的升降,以指示人們上下樓。這種設(shè)備是得到英國(guó)核燃料組織的大筆資助才開(kāi)發(fā)成功的。第二篇:2014職稱英語(yǔ)押題
